Life Is Beautiful


This article is tribute to all the people who have made the last four years of my life eventful and great fun..

Aarthi
Jolly character who keeps smiling for everything.. Nice fun to be with and probably the only one who thinks gau's jokes are great.. Pakka 'Family' girl.. Hope you get what you desire..

Adi
The unfortunate mumbaikar settled in Chennai.. Good company always.. The kodai trip rocked and wouldn't have happened if not for you.. All the best in the USA, hope you get a good roomie.. I heard someone from CS is coming to NCSU, maybe you should give them a chance :D

Ara
An extremely rocky friendship.. A guy who lives by his rules and one who forgets something everyplace we go.. Easily the guy I've fought with the most.. Have great memories of the bangalore and goa trip though.. All the best with CAT and at CTS..

Ani
The only person outside SVCE that i am close to.. Seems like a quiet chap but is extremely kd.. Have gotten thrown out of class quite a few times because of him.. All the best at UTAH, don't forget the Cuban Cigars..

Archana
The achiever of our department.. Overloads herself with too much work always or pretends to do so and bunks all classes :D I still think you are too chicken to say okie to a guy.. All the best at Infy..

Bala
My computer guide.. Still hate him for bunking so many days of college and getting away with it.. Very relaxed approach about what the future holds for him.. Hope you do something great with your talents.. Still waiting for the Vista Cd..

Bhavya
Seriyana Enthu Pattani.. Smiling most times.. The one thing everyone will remember her for is her 'hiyeeee'.. Remember, Curiosity kills the cat.. Rock on at CTS..

Durba
The eternal talker of our group.. Always has something to discuss about.. I have no idea how she can find so many things interesting.. Have fun at Infy, help Arch unwind..

Gaurav
Mokkai king.. Spent most of my engineering with him.. Extremely possessive of his friends.. Our Sodex Ho supplier.. Santy seems to have changed him lots, for good or bad, I'm not judging :D Hope you get into some cricket thing rather than TCS..

Haresh
The latest addition to our gang.. His logic for most things is pretty 'Different' to put it lightly..180 buddy, drives pretty fast.. Never getting into your car again.. The only guy who is surely joining TCS with me.. Yeh Dosthi, Hum Nahin Chodenge..

Hayu
Mistaken to be the padips of our class, this guy is a silent killer.. Has stupid tastes though(Linux sucks).. Not sure what his intentions are in the USA, all the best anyway.. Play Safe :D

J
Probably the only guy lazier than me.. Skips breakfast each day so that he can sleep longer.. Does useless things like playing Yahoo pool for most of the day.. Good company for watching movies.. Cricket Tomo??

Jan
My closest friend in SVCE and the one i turn to for advice.. Very emotional and takes most things to heart.. Always there when you need her and the one who has influenced me most in SVCE.. Have a ball at UPenn..

Narayan
The life of our parties, used to be at least, has other commitments to fulfil now :D Used to be very quick to anger but heard has changed a lot now.. Didn't imagine i would do my project with him but was great fun.. All the best at Infy..

Niranjan
Known this bugger for 13 years now.. Spent almost every evening at the beach or at JP with him.. F1 fanatic, loyal Kimi follower.. Also part of the elite 180 club.. Distracted young man who seems to be spending a lot of time on his phone nowadays.. Anything we should know??

Rajitha
The first girl i became friends with in college.. Fought with her the most in 4 years i think, yet remains one of my closest friends.. Always been there when i needed her.. Underestimates herself way too much.. All the best with your 'endeavours' in Delhi.. Don't forget us when you reach dizzying heights..

Santy
This guy has way too much energy.. Always works with a plan.. Has a lot of skeletons in his closet which he doesn't reveal.. Very secretive at times.. 11th and 12th were great, especially the cycle rides.. Join TCS da bugger..

Shweta
She can probably sleep through a nuclear explosion.. Always yawning when in college.. Once a party starts, she's on her feet and keeps dancing.. Amazing energy.. The only one whose dance I've been impressed lots by.. All the best at CTS..

Engineering wouldn't have been the same without you people.. Loved every moment of it .. Tankoo all..

NATPE NATPE

My engineering life has almost come to an end (I have a paper in 8 hours time, WHAT THE HELL AM I BLOGGING FOR??).. Was just thinking about this song i had heard.. Easily one of the best farewell song i've heard.. Compares to 'Musthafa Musthafa'.. It's called 'Natpe Natpe' from the movie 'Whistle'.. Hear it whenever you get the time, now would probably be the ideal time given it's end of college and all.. The lyrics of the song is really nice, so hear it is..

natpe natpe ini natpil thithithoamnatpe
natpe ini engae sandhipoamada
varusham moondru enbadhu
oru nimisham aagi poanadhuviLaiyaattu
viLaiyaattu viLaiyaattaa
naam kaalil udhaitha pandhugaL
indru thondai kuzhiyil uruLudhu
indha uRavum indha pirivum ini engum kidaikkaathey
(natpe natpe...)

nalla puthagam poal nammai naamae dhinam vaasithoam
andha noolagam nadandhidumaa?
nitham aRusuvai arattaiyil pasiyaaRinoam
andha uNavagam maRandhidumaa?
ketta pazhakkangaL pala kathukkondoam
nalla idhayathai naam sumandhu sendroam
paadam solliyadhu kaiyaLavu
iLamai solliyadhu kadalaLavu
indru azhagaana kanavondru kalaighindradhae
(natpe natpe...)

andru yaaro endru vandhoam ingu mudhal naaLilae
indru natpil manam kai kulukkudhey
dhinam chinna chinna sandai poatta kaayam ellaam
indru sugamaaga valikkindradhey
engu aaN ennum peN ennum baedham
adhu yaen endru naam kaekka thondrum
endha dhisaigaLil nadandhiduvoam?
engae evarudan iNaindhiduvoam?
naaLai varum naatkaL idhu poala inidhaaguma?

Gonna miss you all.. All the best in whatever you do..
